"As promised, we are supporting the Syrian people in their time of need. 500 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat flour are already on their way to Syria as part of our humanitarian program "Grain from Ukraine" in cooperation with the WFP," Zelenskyy said.
In addition, the President added that in the coming weeks it is planned to distribute aid to more than 33 thousand families (167 thousand people). As you know, each package weighs 15 kilograms and can feed a family of five for one month.
"We wish Syria and its people safety, stability and recovery. We know the true price of these things," the Head of State emphasized.
As a reminder, ISW recently reported that Russian troops continue to be stationed at the Hmeymim air base and the port of Tartus in Syria. Moscow plans to complete the withdrawal by February 2025.
At the same time, Russians in Syria are afraid of evacuation. They believe that their convoy will be covered by fire.
